Amazing...

Had a lovely few days at Old Church Barn. Everything was perfect from start to finish, a lovely welcome gift, amazingly clean and comfortable. Owners communication was fantastic and the guide beforehand was a godsend as first timers to Norfolk. The location is great for exploring Norfolk, we had the most amazing time - visiting Great Yarmouth, Horsey to see the seals, Cromer, Norwich and a trip on the broads. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much.

Lovely spot - highly recommended

We had a lovely week and would definitely visit again. The nearby church ruins are incredible and the accommodation is stylish, clean and comfortable. It’s also a perfect location being slightly cut off but close enough to access everything in the area. Thank you.

Very nice stay

The cottage was lovely & clean & very comfortable. The treat basket was very much appreciated. There was lots of literature about the local area and some very nice places to eat.

Stunning Church Barn would recommend

My family & I had a wonderful, 3 night break at Old Church Barn and what a way to celebrate 17 years of marriage. Thank you to the owners for this beautifully designed cottage. Very clean, welcoming and great location.

An absolute Gem!

We had the most wonderful stay at Old Church Barn. It’s spotlessly clean and beautiful designed inside. Literally on the circular walk for Winterton and has everything you need for a really chilled stay. We will be back without doubt!

Walks from the door

Great walking from the door. Long way from the beach at Winterton. Modern decor. WiFi sketchy at times. Nice and quiet

Spacious and cozy for us, safe for the dogs

We instantly felt at home when we arrived and had a wonderful stay. The barn is spacious and cozy at the same time, and we were very happy to hang out inside when it got a bit rainy. The large living room was perfect for the family to sit together. I also loved one of the room upstairs as a retreat for myself to do yoga or read. And the main bedroom has a very comfy bed and tons of storage space. We love to cook and eat at home and the kitchen had everything we could have asked for. Our travel group is not the easiest (2 beagles and a 1-yr old baby) and this barn provided everything we needed. The outside space is not just gated, but actually beagle-proof (which is rare). There is a microwave, a bathtub, a high chair, a lovely welcome pack (including milk and wine), dog towels... you name it. Lovely location in a quiet place. Lots of opportunities to explore, but you don't need to use the car at all as there are several nice walks directly from the house and you can walk to the dunes/beach. We loved walking in the dunes, saw some seals, and the beach is gorgeous. Great chippy and cafe in the village (walking distance), amazing farm shops nearby, and I'd highly recommend visiting Norwich for a day if you haven't been.

Amazing in every way!

The barn is in great location, short walk to beach via quiet lane, no cars. Great for dogs as back garden walled and paved and access from kitchen. Front garden grass but not totally secure for some dogs that jump or could wiggle through the gate. Kitchen is amazing, everything you need. Comfy bed, great shower, plenty of hot water and powerful rain head. Best to take a shower cap if you don't want wet hair! But the best thing about this barn is IT IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN!! Never have I been away and not washed plates etc before use. Sue has put a lot of work into making this barn amazing for her guests and she is responsive to any contact you may have. The welcome hamper with goodies, wine and milk was lovely. There are tea bags and coffee, dish washer and washing tabs.

Very nice, on the whole...

I enjoyed my time at OCB; the place is clean and furnished to a high standard, with everything a visitor might need for a pleasant stay. Three slight concerns could be: i) I hadn't understood, from the photos or the description of the property, that the space for dogs is not huge. It is safe and secure, for sure, but the rear, paved area is not brilliant for dogs, in all honesty. The front, grassed area is pleasant, secure and well-maintained, but fairly small. ii) The non-master bedroom, in which I stayed, is in the roof of the barn. I realise that this is one of the features of such a property. However, I did have to be very cautious at all times to avoid banging my head, and it wasn't easy, for example, for the daily making of the bed. (I feel for the regular cleaners of the property in frequently having to navigate that!). Additionally, there is no wardrobe/storage space at all in that room nor, indeed, anywhere at all in the room to place belongings — instead, the 'upstairs' guest is invited to use the lovely room opposite for storage and for the hanging of clothes etc. Again, this could be seen as a charming quirk of the property but, by the end of the holiday, it was becoming something of a challenge for me — constantly having to be aware of headspace, and always having to move from room to room via the two small stairwells. iii) The slightly unconventional corner sofa just didn't work for us in terms of comfort. I score this property highly because, overall, it deserves it, but I'm currently ambivalent as to whether I would book here again. My colleague, however, who stayed in the master bedroom, was extremely satisfied with things.

Beautiful Stay

Old Church Barn was such a lovely location for us to stay with our two staffies Nala & Luna. The walks are absolutely gorgeous & can walk for miles. The accommodation itself was lovely & was greeted by a lovely welcome basket & was very clean. Everything had such a lovely touch to it & a lot of thought gone into the modernisation of this property & has the home from home feel to it. Will definitely stay again next year couldn't have asked for a better holiday home to explore Winterton on Sea.

Another great stay at the Old Church Barn

Our fourth time here, so we must love it. It’s now like our second home! and the dogs love the beach and the walk down the back lane.

Winterton stay

A lovely property in a beautiful setting. Well stocked kitchen and it was a nice surprise to receive a welcome basket. Great place for dogs if you have one. Not far from beach and lovely local walks. Very soft towels!

Fab week holiday

If you are looking for a walking holiday with your dog this is ideal place to stay. The Cottage has your every need and was just lovely and clean. Lots of car free public footpaths on your doorstep and about 2km walk to the sea. Private parking area so no need to panic for a parking space and driving you are within 15/20 mins from Gt Yarmouth, Sea Pauling and Hosey Gap / NT Hosey windmill. Although we were busy we really loved our stay here and had a relaxing time. Burgh Castle and the local pub there well worth a visit too. Thank you so much to the hosts for letting us stay and discover that part of Norfolk - Loved it!

Just the best!

What a gem this lovely barn conversion was. The best holiday property we have stayed in Norfolk so far. We love Norfolk and it’s beautiful coastline and to find this stunning property made out stay even more pleasant. The owners have thought of everything and the special touches like fresh flowers I have never seen before in a holiday let and very dog friendly too with water bowls dotted around. The property was spotless too. Would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful location but within walking distance to sea. It’s a 10/10 from us and our dog. We have already now booked the owners other property in Happisburgh for our main holiday and can’t wait to see that too.
